Breaking Free from the Ex-Husband

The second Heriberto recognized the voice, a vein throbbed in his temple. “Nathaniel. Put Iris on.”

Nathaniel stuck around for a bit, keeping an eye on her.

Just as he turned to leave, her phone rang. He picked it up without hesitation and stepped out to take the call.
